I have a question about Mellon Arena policies and I dont want to type up a new topic about it so I'll ask here.

I have a digital SLR (canon rebel xti) with my 75-300 lens that is 5 inches in length.... I think they're regulation is 3 inches on "larger" lenses....Anyone know how I can get away with this? Im not using a manual flash tonight.

I went to the Flyers opener (for free) with obnoxious Flyer friends/fans...and Biron looked terrible, but Nittymaki looked pretty decent actually, stoned Drury from like 3 feet away on a one timer...I'd rather face the big joke of Biron

I hate to slam Nitty, I mean he's had some good games. However, we always have a field day with him it seems. Hopefully this will work to our advantage and we will be able to capitalize on the momentum gained from a win tonight. Either way, it's going to be a physical game, and we still have to see if our new "physical" players are up to the challenge. Considering the way Bobby Holik performed as his normal, over-the-hill pissed off self, I still have my doubts.

Who else did the Flyers gain and lose? I know Jason Smith is gone, which is great. Hatcher is out of commission, possibly forever. Umberger went to Ohio. Briere is still an elf. Did Randy Jones or Downie get suspended yet? Gagne is back, but he's a concussion away from retirement. Oh and they got Glen Metropolit, who tied his career high 33 points last year. I'm feeling pretty good about tonight.

i think i heard randy jones is out 12-14 months. jones isn't a dirty player (he's not even very aggressive), so i don't revel in his injury....but he did mess that guy up on a sloppy, stupid decision, so maybe there is some karma at play.
